Keith Preston wins Libertarian Alliance essay competition
Congratulations to Keith Preston for writing the winning essay in the 2008 Libertarian Alliance Chris R. Tame Memorial Essay Competition. Entitled Free Enterprise: The Antidote to Corporate Plutocracy, Preston’s essay addresses the competition’s topic, ““Can a Libertarian Society be Described as ‘Tesco minus the State’?†Breaking with the stereotypical right-libertarian defense of big business as an oppressed minority, Preston lays out a refreshingly radical take on libertarianism, bringing in class analysis, a revisionist reevaluation of capitalist history, and a decentralist approach to populism. For winning the competition, sponsored by the U.K.-based Libertarian Alliance, Mr. Preston will receive a £1000 prize.
